Our 5th Graders are cruising into 6th Grade!!!

On the last official day of school, June 11th at 1pm, 5th grade is invited to pick up their promotion certificates at Whitmore-Bolles. They will wave farewell to their teachers, and proceed along a route in their car to celebrate their promotion to 6th grade!!!

A suggested route will be handed to each car when they drive into the lot. The route will also be posted on the school blog.

Suggested Route: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L930Wi0oZfRo4fKm58w7BzAd2UClcnJa3CP6btiDxls/edit?usp=drivesdk

The neighborhood will be notified, and invited to wave and show their support along the route, much like a parade. Feel free to alert all your neighbors. They can make signs too!

Don’t forget to decorate your cars with signs and balloons! Here are some ideas!!!

Please continue to upload 5th grade photos for the end of the year slide show. Please put them in the link here. Anything you would like to include from their time at Whitmore, plus a baby picture. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fISwI3DoR27MCC-7485Bz041PA8VtmdF?usp=sharing

Due Friday 6-5-20

Please follow the link below for details.

I packed everything up that was in lockers, drawers, and book boxes. Many of the students have large bags with everything from their lockers. Be prepared to carry multiple items.

I will be at the pick up. Please return any of my books from the students reading book bags, and any library books. The students can keep their yellow bags. See you then!!!

The 5th Grade – Middle School meeting is rescheduled for Tuesday, May 12th at 12pm.

You will go to iLearn and enter the enrollment code z2karf. Then enter the BigBlueButton meeting. Remember to refresh the page at 12pm to enter the room. Scroll down to find the Whitmore-Bolles meeting.

This will take the place of our biweekly class meeting. Try to have a parent present. Mrs. Elder from O.L. Smith will be running the meeting.

See you soon!

Hi! So. because BigBlueButton was stressful today, after it was done I became so sad because I did not get to interact with the kids as planned. I’m scrapbooking this crazy time in history, and want to include all my wonderful students!!

Please send me pictures of all the wonderful things you’re doing at home so I can include them. It will be healing to look at them having fun. Doesn’t have to be school related.

Plus, we need to start sending in 5th grade photos for the end of the year slide show. Please put them in the link here. Anything you would like to include from their time at Whitmore, plus a baby picture. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fISwI3DoR27MCC-7485Bz041PA8VtmdF?usp=sharing

I MISS YOU!!!!!

Okay, our 1st meeting did not go so well.

I will be working on getting out the kinks in technology today and tmr.

I’m scheduling a practice session for tmr at 1pm.

Please join if you can, not required.

A real meeting will be on Thursday at 1pm.

Bring your writing assignment to share a small part.

We will get through this together!

Dont forget,

Math supply pick up is at school today from 12-3.

Big Blue Button Starts Today!!!!

I have not received any questions so hopefully everyone is ready!! This is a repeat of the previous information posted last week.

Our new communication portal for video chat is called BigBlueButton.
It is located in “iLearn”. It is easily found on the Dearborn Schools homepage.

I have attached a video that will help you get all set up. I suggest looking at the video on a phone, and attempting to use the program on a different device if possible.

Our course is named “McCuaig 19-20” The students are already enrolled in the course. There aren’t any codes.

Follow the video instructions.

We will resume our meetings on Tuesday and Thursday at 1pm.

Please attempt to use this before 1pm. You will not be able to see the video chat portion until that time.

Email me with questions.

Here we go!!!
